There are several strategies to increase the power of an epidemiological study:
Increase Sample Size: Larger sample sizes reduce variability and make it easier to detect true effects. Increase Effect Size: If possible, increasing the intensity or duration of the exposure can help detect an effect. Improve Measurement Precision: Using more accurate and reliable measurement tools reduces noise in the data. Reduce Variability: Standardizing procedures and using homogenous populations can help decrease variability. Control for Confounders: Using statistical methods to control for confounding variables can help isolate the true effect.
